Johannes Brahms: String Quartet in A minor Op. 51 No. 2
B茅la Bart贸k: String Quartet No. 4 BB95

The Emerson String Quartet is among the great established names in chamber music ensembles, its career spanning nearly forty years. Today they contrast Brahms' lyrical Second String Quartet in A minor with Bartok's Fourth String Quartet - a highly energetic but taut work, widely considered to be Bartok's finest and most imaginative composition.
